Very Tasteful Apartment

Really enjoyed our stay at The Gables. Apartment very comfortable and tastefully furnished. Location on the waterfront makes everything in Russell very accessible. Only small niggle was lack of soundproofing from Restaurant below but not a major problem

Spacious Stay

This accommodation speaks cleanliness and space! It is well located to easily access the amenities of Russell. The restaurant/pub below is non-intrusive. The patio doors and balcony enable fresh air and entertainment while watching the activities taking place below it. The ratu tree directly outside the patio doors limits the view across the bay but at the same time adds beauty to this artistically inspired space.

Perfect Property

A delightful and spacious property in a perfect location yards from the sea. The bustle of Russell transformed to perfect tranquility around 22:00 leaving only the sound of the waves lapping on the beach outside. The property was well equipped with everything we needed for a restful break.

Great property in the centre of town. Loved the out look and loads of lovely restaurants a stones thrown away. Only slight negative for us was music from downsairs restaurant played from 11am to closing which I guess when staying in town is to be expected. Beautiful property 👌 Thank u

Idyllic & Charming

A fantastic property right in the heart of historic Russell. We felt instantly at home … relaxing, stylish, warm & comfortable. Well equipped kitchen & spacious enough for two couples to enjoy. We dined at The Gables Restaurant (right underneath the apartment) & Hones Garden (right behind the property). Hardly any need for a car as everything is a walk away. Thoroughly enjoyed … thank you!

Historical and Modern

A beautiful historical building with original windows and a modern kitchen. During our stay the Gables restaurant was being refurbished so there was some construction noise coming up through on the main level, though the master bedroom on the top floor was quiet. Good communication with the host. Very central location in the heart of Russell. We could walk to everything we required during our stay.
